Definitions

  • the stability of the profile is additionally improved by the fact that the surfaces of the sections of the supporting profiles, which extend in parallel, rest against each other.
  • the regions of the leg sections which rest against each other are additionally connected by welding.
  • a reasonable result is obtainable by individual welding spots.
  • a continuous welding seam along the outer edges of the supporting profile is possible, i.e. along the joint which is formed by the upper edges of the sections of the second leg in the bearing region and/or at the side rims of the supporting profile.
  • the connection is preferably formed by a laser welding method.
  • the supporting profile is formed integrally with the material of the bearing region.
  • An integrally formed shelf is generally more stable than one which is formed of plural parts, because there are no connecting points between the individual parts which could loosen under load. Moreover, only one workpiece has to be worked so that the manufacturing of the shelf is possible in a particularly economic way. An integrally formed shelf further has an even higher bending strength.
  • the supporting profile is formed by roll forming and/or edge bending.
  • the support can be realised at reasonable manufacturing effort.
  • the supporting profile extends across the complete length of the shelf, i.e. from one side end to the other.
  • first and second legs are perpendicular to each other, whereby the supporting load is distributed particularly uniformly.
  • joints are closed which unavoidably remain at the upper edge even when welding the sections of the second legs and in which dirt can get caught or articles disposed on the shelf can get stuck. Thereby, an unevenness of the bearing region of the shelf can be avoided at the locations where the supporting profiles are integrally formed.
  • the embodiment with plural supporting profiles effects an additional stability gain across the complete depth of the shelf.
  • FIG. 1 shows a cross-sectional view of the shelf in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention.
  • FIG. 1 shows a shelf 1 having a bearing region 2 and a supporting region 3 which extends in parallel to the bearing region.
  • the supporting region comprises two supporting profiles 4 .
  • the supporting profiles 4 run perpendicular to the drawing plane of the Figure from one side end of the shelf 1 to the other.
  • side walls 11 are provided at the side ends.
  • the side walls enhance the rigidity. They are produced by punching and/or cutting and subsequent roll forming and/or edge bending of the outer rims of the shelf. The cutting of the side walls 11 prior to the edge bending is made so that after the manufacturing of the supporting profiles 4 the gap (not shown) remaining at the height of the supporting profiles is as small as possible.
  • brackets not shown
  • vertical rack-columns not shown
  • the bearing region 2 is confined in the longitudinal direction by front and rear grooves 12 , 13 .
  • the grooves further increase the stiffness of the shelf 1 and are suitable for fastening price labels and dividing panels in the bearing region. Further, the grooves can catch particles or small pieces which fall down from the shelf.
  • FIG. 2 shows the supporting profile 4 in cross-section.
  • the profile includes two legs 5 , 6 .
  • Each of the legs is formed by two leg sections 7 , 8 and 9 , 10 which extend pairwise in parallel.
  • the first leg 6 and the second leg 5 are perpendicular to each other and form the shape of an upside down “T”.
  • the second leg 5 is vertically oriented, while the first leg 6 is oriented horizontally and therefore in parallel to the bearing region of the shelf.
  • the two legs 5 , 6 are formed integrally with the bearing region 2 of the shelf 1 .
  • the shelf has a high stability and can be manufactured simply and economically by roll forming and/or edge bending from one piece of metal sheet.
  • the vertical or second leg 5 improves the bending strength of the shelf 1 in the longitudinal direction of the supporting profile 4 .
  • the horizontal or first leg 6 generally enhances the load capacity and the bending strength of the shelf. It works like a chord which carries the weight of an article stored on the shelf in addition to the material of the shelf in the bearing region 2 .
  • the weight is divided into a pressure load portion which acts on the bearing region 2 and a tensile load portion which acts on the legs 5 , 6 of the supporting region 3 . In total, this increases the load capacity of the shelf 1 .
  • Manufacturing of the shelf 1 starts from a metal sheet which can be treated by edge bending.
  • the sheet can be worked by repeated roll forming and/or edge bending steps to obtain the T-shaped supporting profile with the two legs 5 , 6 as shown in FIG. 2 .
  • the two sections 7 , 8 of the vertical leg 5 which rest against each other, provide an almost jointless surface of the bearing region.
  • joints 14 remain in the bearing region 2 at the locations of the supporting profiles 4 . In those joints, dirt can get caught or articles placed on the shelf can get stuck. It is therefore preferable to close these joints 14 by applying an appropriate material.
  • the filling material can be welded, bonded or applied in another way prior to or after the painting or powder coating of the shelf 1 . In this way, an unevenness of the bearing region can be avoided almost entirely.
